With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. Despite high expectations - this hotel exceeded all our expectations. We are used to staying at amazing places, but this is by far the best hotel we’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the surroundings are stunning, and it truly feels like paradise. The staff are the most friendly and welcoming people you could imagine – they made us feel at home from the very first moment. We would definitely come back without hesitation. Thank you Minos Palace and see you again!
